Waygate 57K0202P1 60° Shear Wave Angle Beam Wedge for 0.50" Transducer Carbon Steel, Accupath Series

Precision 60° Shear Wave Introduction for Critical NDT

The Waygate 57K0202P1 wedge delivers a precise 60° shear wave in carbon steel, engineered to meet the exacting requirements of weld inspections, flaw detection, and complex ultrasonic evaluations. Designed for seamless use with 0.50" (13 mm) Accupath series ultrasonic transducers, it ensures consistent acoustic coupling and reliable angle fidelity for in-service and fabrication inspections.

Compatibility with Industry-Leading Flaw Detectors

This wedge performs reliably with leading flaw detectors, including:

• Waygate (GE Krautkrämer) USM 100 – Advanced phased array and manual flaw detection systems for critical steel inspections.
• Olympus Epoch XT and Epoch 650 – Portable units globally recognized for weld and pipeline NDT.
• Panametrics Epoch 4 and 4B – Trusted flaw detectors for fabrication and power generation industries.

Paired with these units and the correct transducer, the wedge supports code-compliant flaw sizing, TOFD, and weld integrity assessments.
